NEW IN TOWN “I don’t know, where do you want to eat?” As sentences go, it’s right up there with “We need to talk.” So let’s arm you with some new suggestions from the bevy of eateries that have opened around the county in the past year. A new place can shake you out of your dining inertia and maybe even get you through that awkward talk.

Taste of Bim. drew hyland

Northern Humboldt If you’re wondering why the 76 Station near the totem pole in McKinleyville smells like bacon, it’s the Wild Oaks 2 trailer parked there (1980 Central Ave.). Like its older sibling, it’s hauling smoky meats, but also sandwiches, chili and chowder. In Carlotta, people are following their noses to Restaurant 36 (5427 State Route 36, Carlotta) for burgers, steaks and plates of classic American fare.

Arcata In Arcata, a couple of old standards have made way for new blood. The folks who run Crush have opened Harvest (835 J St.), offering “farm-to-fork” sweet potato gnocchi and a seasonal menu on the hallowed ground of the former 3 Foods, while Salt Fish House (761 Eighth St.) is shelling out seafood, raw and cooked,

and land-locked options with chic cocktails where Hunan Plaza once was. If you didn’t know cider was a thing, it is. Dual lines for the Local Cider Bar’s taps and Slice of Humboldt Pie are forming steadily at Bittersweet (828 I St.) — both to be enjoyed on the side patio. If you do indeed like them apples, you can get bottles and glasses of locally made stuff in the Creamery District, too, at Wrangletown Cider (1350 Ninth St.), which is serving a couple of days a week but looking to expand. A truckload of jerk tofu, cashew burgers and fish offerings await you at the Simmer Down Caribbean Café (737 G St.), a mobile operation with Jamaican flavor. Also vegetarian-friendly is Cafe Phoenix (1360 G St.), with its wholesome omelets, soups and homey baked goods. Add to their ranks Sistah’s Vegan (100 Ericson Court #160), which paraphrases Menu of Menus 2016

Hippocrates, proclaiming, “… food is our medicine and medicine is our food.” If you’re looking to indulge, you might swing into the sweet, pink environs of Mia Bella Cupcakes (1041 H St.) where the army of cupcakes changes up flavors daily. Or hit Roman’s Kitchen (681 I St.) for a burger and fries or an Ike and Tina Tuna Salad (seriously) where the Trailer used to park.

Eureka The tables have turned in Eureka, too. Downtown, Taste of Bim (613 Third St.) is calling up your vacation memories/fantasies with island dishes like cod fritters, plantains and roti. There’s more of a stay-cation vibe over at Jack’s Seafood (4 C St.), with its view of the bay, oysters and bowls of chowder. The newest room with a view is Humboldt Bay

Double D Steak and Seafood. photo by amy Kumler, Styling by lynn leishman

Bistro (1436 Second St.), a French-American spot for Bellinis, escargot and surf and turf. More burgers are on the menu, along with salads and fancily topped fries, at the shiny, new Sixth and E Street Eatery (603 E St.). For breakfast all day, Green Lily (307 Second St.) has become a decidedly non-greasy-spoon option, with eggs Benedict, homemade biscuits and sandwiches. Taqueria Rosales (312 W. Washington St.) is joining the ranks of local Mexican joints, and if you were wondering how many Japanese-Italian places Eureka needs, it’s evidently one more — A&J Ichiban (615 F St.) is rolling sushi, boiling up ramen and tossing fettuccine across from the Eureka Theater. While we’re still trying to peek past the paper in the windows at Diver Bar and Grill (2834 F St.), the airy dining room of Zoë (2850 F St.) is serving sal-

ad Niçoise and pizza margherita from a wood-fire oven. Also in Henderson Center, Vellutini’s storefront operation has fully transitioned into the Corner Cafe & Bakery (502 Henderson St.), so you can stop worrying about where your next snickerdoodle is coming from and keep your eye out for new menu items. Your eyes aren’t going — Luzmila’s has morphed into Luis’ (946 West Ave.) and is still serving most of the same Mexican dishes with a few little changes. And you’re not hallucinating — Vampire Penguin Desserts (3144 Broadway) is real, too, with a long menu of shaved ice desserts in both Asian and American flavors — like a snowball lobbed by Willy Wonka. And it’s not déjà vu — you can come ashore at the Boathouse Bar & Grill (6690 Fields Landing) for a drink, some American pub food and a game of pool.

Eel River Region + South Heading south to Fortuna, Philly Cheese Steak Shoppe (1095 S. Fortuna Blvd.) has expanded into Eel River territory, and Double D Steak and Seafood (320 Main St., Fortuna) is bringing back the old Parlato's vibe plus its own take on classic pastas and American dishes, including Rocky Mountain oysters, in case you've been looking for them. Finally, The Lost French Man (3350 Redwood Drive, Redway) has found a home in Southern Humboldt, where he's knocking out paninis, wood fired pizzas and smoothies. That’s a lot of new food to try out, but we’re committed that way. Check out the Hum Plate blog at www.northcoastjournal.com to see the food we’re loving around Humboldt, and send tips about your favorites to Jennifer@northcoastjournal.com or on Twitter @JFumikoCahill. Now, what do you want to eat? †

Menu of Menus 2016

Seven Cult Sandwiches For a lunch that’s equal parts utilitarian and delicious, a sandwich is the timeless go-to. But the proletarian origins of the humble sandwich, coupled with Subway’s ubiquity, have too often given sandwiches the reputation as blasé affairs. The good news for the sandwich curious is that the lunch scene in Humboldt is more than cold cuts and yellow mustard. We found sandwiches dressing themselves up with arugula and Sriracha aioli, and inspired by other cultural mainstays like tacos, pizza and spring rolls.

Nora Mounce

Reliable sandwich outposts dot the route from Fortuna to Trinidad. Here are few favorite spots to mow down Humboldt’s best meals between two slices of bread. Hole in the Wall

Ferndale Meat Company

With inconspicuous locations in both Eureka (1331 Broadway) and Arcata (590 G St.), Hole in the Wall has the best sandwich-quality-to-micro-real-estate ratio sewn up. The options to BYOS (build your own sandwich) are endless, but in terms of creativity and taste, the signature creations are the best choice. In a reverse deconstructed-salad maneuver, the Cobb ($9.75) stacks lettuce, avocado, bacon, turkey and blue cheese between two slices of your choice of bread for a sandwich that gives you the gold star feeling of having ordered a salad. If you’re a bit hungrier or perhaps even waffling on sandwich vs. taco, try the torta ($9.25). It’s essentially several delicious carnitas tacos packed into a fresh-baked Brio roll with cilantro, hot sauce and avocado.

A trip to Ferndale is filled with the nostalgic reminders of the town’s rich history as both a Victorian village and a dairy town. The shops and restaurants along Main Street have the classic eats to match. The Ferndale Meat Company (376 Main St.) dates back to the Humboldt Gold Rush days and holds an honorable place on the town’s historic registrar. A butcher, deli and grocer, the Meat Company smokes the tri-tip in-house to feature on its best-selling sando the smoked tri-tip ($7.50). A generous pile of sliced meat is accompanied by mustard, mayo, pickles, onions, lettuce and tomato with your choice of cheese and bread, but we recommend the soft, savory onion roll to hold that oozy, smoky deliciousness together.

Humboldt Smokehouse A few different barbecue houses are in the hunt for Humboldt’s best, but the Humboldt Smokehouse (310 Fifth St., Eureka) is making authentic, slow-cooked meat. The sandwiches ($9.99) are filled with either pulled pork, pork belly, smoked chicken, pork loin or burnt ends (which you must get to know) in a variety of smoky combinations. The Kansas City, made with your choice of meat, smoked cheddar cheese, scallions and bacon is a house favorite, but meat lovers can upgrade to the Big Poppa, wherein smoked cream cheese, smoked jalapenos, bacon and barbecue sauce accompany your choice of meat. Now about those burnt ends — an exercise in culinary zero-waste, they are the beef trimmings set aside by the pit master. Their origins can be traced back to a serious barbecue town, Kansas City, where burnt ends used to be given away as doggy snacks. By now humans, too, have learned to love the delectable, fatty saltiness and the Humboldt Smokehouse will add burnt ends to your soft roll for only an extra $1.99 well spent.

Murphy’s Market Trinidad If there were a signature Humboldt sandwich, it’d be the sweet taste of fresh crab bookended by slices of Vellutini’s sourdough, with a light smear of mayo, lettuce and tomato. This Humboldt classic can be caught in the fishing village of Trinidad at the Murphy’s Market deli (1 Main St. Trinidad). Sure, there are branches in Bayside and Eureka, but the sea air adds something. Though the Humboldt crab industry has been stymied by water quality regulations in 2016, until the season opened here, Murphy’s was keeping the regulars faithful by shipping in fresh-caught crab from the nearby Oregon coast. The crab sandwich (market price) featuring a ¼ pound of lump Dungeness is available from the start of crab season through the summer. Some prefer the taste of crab clean and natural, but many locals will ask for Larrupin’s mustard dill sauce to make it extra sweet and delicious.

Pasta Luego The transports-you-to-Italy factor at Pasta Luego (791 Eighth St., Arcata) cannot be Menu of Menus 2016

overstated, particularly after biting into one of its perfectly crafted paninis. Italian cookies, aprons, wine and refrigerated pasta sauce surround the main event — a deli case stocked with premium Italian charcuterie, sliced to order. The menu consists of Italian subs on Brio baguettes and a selection of panino, perhaps the highest form of sandwich art, in which the slow toast of bread and cheese creates a perfect harmony of textures. If you also love the interplay of sweet and savory, try the Coco, featuring a wonderfully salty rosa cotta ham, roasted red peppers, arugula, Gorgonzola cheese and house made fig jam ($9.50).

Wildberries’ Wild Platter Café Wildberries’ deli offers a menu of special sandos that pair perfectly with a six-pack of IPA and a trip to Moonstone Beach. For something on the healthier side, try the Wild Veggie Delight ($7.99 whole, $4.99 half ), a sturdy sandwich housed in a whole wheat roll and layered with organic hummus, Vegenaise, cilantro, red onions, lettuce and tomatoes. If you BYOS , try keeping it local with Wild Planet tuna or grilled organic Tofu Shop tofu and topping it off with Larrupin’s signature mustard dill sauce ($7.29 whole, $4.49 half).

Z & J’s Asian Subs First of all, it’s a drive-thru. Pull up to the silver silo-shaped Z & J Asian Subs (2336 Third St., Eureka) across from Target, and a friendly face will ask you to choose chicken, pork, prime rib, tuna or tofu. Do you want to add avocado or cheese ($1.49 each)? And would you like it spicy, medium or mild? Before you know it, a large sub ($8.99-10.99) that is a meatier, tangier relative of Vietnamese báhn mì will come through the sliding window, packed with a fistful of shredded carrots, fresh cilantro and house-smoked meats, spicy as you like. †

The Shuffleboard tables at AA Bar & Grill and the Palace Saloon are monuments in their respective institutions. For a modern take, try the half-digital version of the game at Sidelines. Open and inviting Redwood Curtain Brewery hosts monthly shuffleboard tournaments. Going out for a drink in the more urban parts of Humboldt has one huge advantage: you’ve got choices. This Venn diagram can help you narrow them down. At the center with a little bit of everything, is The Alibi, actually two bars in one. Its newer half opened in 2015, but the enduring popularity of the older side proves that to many, “dive” is definitely a compliment.

COCKTAIL?

The Shanty has Old Town Eureka’s cheapest pints, a ping pong table out back, and a very well-curated jukebox inside.

Restaurant 301 offers ultra-high-end spirits in a comfortable setting, but you can’t beat $2.50 martinis and Manhattans during happy hour.

Congratulations, you are extremely picky. Stay at home. No one likes you.

Humboldt weather is fickle, which makes for no greater pleasure than having a cold drink outside when you can. Enjoy partial afternoon clearing at the Humboldt Bay Tourism Center, Mad River Brewing Co. or Six Rivers Brewery. And for a lovely view of Eureka’s waterfront, check out the bar at Cafe Marina.

Morsels by Month For the glory of good eats, loosen that belt a notch (or three), gourmets, gourmands and gastronomes, and mark your calendars. Here’s a list of Humboldt’s best eatin’ events to keep you salivating all year long.

January Big Chili Cook-off: In mid-January Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the North Coast hosts its annual Big Chili Cookoff at the Mad River Tasting Room in Blue Lake. For $10 you get a bowl of chili (plus tasters!) salad and cornbread, plus live music. Gotta buy the beer, though. A rootin’ tootin’ good time, all for the sake of local kids. Bowl of Beans celebrates Martin Luther King, Jr. Day at the Arcata Community Center. Begun in 2000, this evening of rice, beans, cornbread and salad is a vibrant community tradition complete with local music and youth performances. Proceeds support Arcata youth art programs and scholarships. Eureka Crab Crawl: At the end of January, it’s a two-day celebration of the crabbiest kind in Old Town, Eureka. Have your polar fleece and rain boots at the ready, then enjoy the crawl 5 pm to 9 pm Friday and Saturday. It’s payas-you-go, with participating bars and restaurants featuring their best crabthemed drinks and dishes. Stick around for crab festival events the rest of the weekend.

February After all that chili, beans and rice, and crab, a digestive rest is in order. Well, maybe just a little local Valentine’s chocolate.

option for those sometimes cold, overcast days. Pony Express Days in McKinleyville hosts an entire week of family fun including this chili cook-off at the McKinleyville Activity Center. Sample every chili and vote for the champion.

Taste of Main Street On the cusp of the Redwood Coast Music Festival, dozens of Old Town eateries and bars are on the menu as you stroll around grazing on samples. Don’t dawdle and come hungry. Afterward, work it off at the Redwood Coast Music Festival’s kick-off swing dance.

Oyster Fest: With more 12,000 attendees each year, the bivalve bacchanalia on the Arcata Plaza is one of Humboldt’s signature summer events. Always on the Saturday before Father’s Day — this year, it’s June 18. The event is sponsored by Arcata Main Street and proudly showcases the aquaculture of our very own Humboldt Bay with live music, shucking contests, an army of vendors and chefs competing for best oyster.

April Spamley Cup: Ah, SPAM , that guilty, salty-fatty, porky-ham pleasure, especially necessary after a late night at the Shanty. At the Spamley Cup local chefs and armchair connoisseurs compete and craft this specially processed American meat into gourmet entrees. Entrants are judged on presentation, creativity and taste. The great local music, kid activities and food benefits CASA of Humboldt. Spamtastic!

May Redwood Coast Up in Smoke Beer and BBQ Tasting: On May 21 at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds, local breweries showcase their best beverages, and barbecue aficionados compete for top honors. Best part? It’s all you can eat. With live, local music. Proceeds go to the Clarke Museum.

June Pony Express Days In the first week of June, it’s another round of chili, a good Menu of Menus 2016

Best of Humboldt Fair: at Redwood Acres takes place June 23 through 26, featuring local food products, tastings, funnel cakes and the best fried fair food. It’s a great place to catch the best of what’s being produced in Humboldt.

July Fourth of July: Get ready for fireworks and food festi-palooza in Humboldt — Arcata, Eureka, Benbow and Ferndale all boast day-long celebrations with tons of local food vendors, music, games and family-friendly activities. Can’t wait? Fortuna parties on July 3. Fortuna Rodeo: July 11 saddle up for the Fortuna Rodeo’s signature chili cook-off kick-off. The following Sunday, enjoy the Rodeo’s annual pit barbecue for lunch — 4,000 pounds of beef, 80 gallons of potato salad, 1,800 bread rolls and 100 gallons of baked beans make this one delicious way to wrap up the famous Fortuna Rodeo.

BBQ and Brew: On July 9, kick up your heels at the BBQ and Brew. Get your fill of tri-tip, marinated tofu fillets, hot dogs, grilled veggies, corn on the cob, local organic salad fixin’s, watermelon and cookies. Local live music and hayrides, too. Proceeds go to Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice. Blackberry Festival: At the end of July, head to Westhaven for the annual Blackberry Festival at the Westhaven Firehall — blackberry and huckleberry pie are the local faves, but you can also buy barbecue, hamburgers, beer and wine. Local music, too. Proceeds go to the Westhaven Volunteer Fire Department.

August Humboldt County Fair runs August 18 thru the 28, and sure, you can check out prize-winning livestock, enjoy the thrill of the mid-way, or try your luck at the horsetrack. But really, you’ll want to load up on all your favorites that only come around once a year — funnel cakes, shaved ice, corn dogs, cotton candy, caramel corn and all things deep fried and delicious. Taste of Willow Creek in mid-August go inland to Willow Creek and enjoy all the best local deliciousness — wine, hors d’oeuvre, barbecue, fruits, veggies, local art and music. Taste of the Cove: At the end of August, get ready for a meal with a view at Mal Coombs Park in Shelter Cove. Grilled fresh-caught seafood is the order of the day. Proceeds benefit Heart of the Redwoods Community Hospice. Yurok Salmon Festival: August 20 marks the 54th year of this family-friendly fest. Held at the Klamath Community Center, the celebration includes cultural demonstrations, a 5K run, heavy machinery rodeo and more. The lunch includes

Klamath salmon fresh as you’ll ever have it. Hops in Humboldt: On August 27 get ready to get your beer and grub on at Humboldt’s biggest beer fest in Rohner Park, Fortuna. Pizza, pretzels, Indian tacos, tri-tip, fries, kabobs, Mexican and more compete for room in your belly with 35 different beers.

September North Country Fair: Held September 17 th and 18 th on the Arcata Plaza, this two-day romp in the sunshine has been a jewel of local culture since 1974. The fair features the best of local and regional arts, crafts, music and food — pizza, beer, oysters, barbecue, veggie delights, sweet treats and much more. Tastin’ Trinidad: Local restaurants, cafes, wineries and breweries showcase what they do best as the sun sets over the seaside town. Bocce ball, live music, and stuff for the kids. Fieldbrook Art & Wine Festival: The last Saturday in September at the Fieldbrook Winery, enjoy barbecued oysters, albacore, chicken, local wine, beer, live music and artisan booths. Admission is free but proceeds benefit Fieldbrook Educational Foundation and Fieldbrook School.

October Apple Harvest Festival: The first weekend in October, Fortuna halts traffic downtown for an old fashioned street fair. Bushels of apples — on sticks, with caramel, in pies, baked and deep-fried. There’s even more food, barbecue and family activities in Rohner Park. Bacon Fest at Blue Lake Casino held mid-October, is the place for all things porcine and delicious. Vendors serve up

Dec

their best morsels in the casino parking lot — you can smell that delectable fat frying as far away as the Logger Bar. Hoptoberfest: Held mid-October in Perigot Park in sunny Blue Lake, this one celebrates regional breweries, area food vendors and local talent. Proceeds benefit Blue Lake Education Foundation. Octoberfest: On October 29, it’s a traditional German-style dinner at Rohner Park, Fortuna. German and local beer, beer barrel and stein races, polka dancing and “oompah” music to top off the bratwurst. Benefits Fortuna Senior Center.

November Intertribal Gathering and Elders Dinner: The Redwood Acres Fairground welcomes all and celebrates elders. The event gives a glimpse into local Native cultures with traditional dance, art and music. Elders are served a free traditional salmon dinner at noon. Mushroom Fair: The annual fun since 1978 is always on the Sunday before Thanksgiving at Redwood Acres Fairgrounds. Learn about all things fungi-rrific, get mushroom cookbooks and recipes, and bring in your found fungi for accurate identification.

December Ferndale Tree Lighting and Linguiça and Beans Dinner: On the first Saturday in December, join the residents of the Victorian Village in their annual tree lighting ceremony — it’s the tallest living Christmas tree in America and a Ferndale tradition since 1934. Afterward, head over to the Portuguese Hall for a traditional meal of linguiça and beans. A heartwarming, friendly, delicious evening with — what else — cookies for dessert.

local and seasonal when available. Twelve rotating flavors at a time including two dairy-free options... a sorbet and a coconut or nut milk based flavor. Our all organic product is made fresh in the shop every night with healthful ingredients such as Straus Family Creamery, produce from local family farms, and chocolate crafted from bean to bar right here in Arcata. Of course we always have the traditional favorites on hand, but you may like to try our more unusual flavors... jalapeño, avocado, apple pie, Earl Grey or the wildly popular salted caramel. The super fresh waffle cones are made all day, and you don’t have to be a kid to get a kid cone. We hope to see you in our shop.
